Re: what about top ten favorite keyboards?

2007-12-01 by tomdcour

-I've got two weird favorites aside from my all time favorite , the Mellotron (any mellotron 
or Chamberlin for that matter). One is a Yamaha CS70. It is a big,weird,music lab of a 
thing- full of surprises, analog oscillators, digitally controlled. The other is the gleeman 
pentaphonic, a fun synth the size of a breadbox with three oscillators and a 100 patch 
memory. Sadly it crapped out a couple of years ago and I haven't found someone to fix it.
I think any british Vox Continental that has bad action needs to go to the shop. Maybe the 
keys swelled up or something? I can't imagine, mine has great action. Which brings me to 
my all time favorite keyboard- the UNIVOX (Telstar)- no, I don't have one. TD
